EBOOK COVER for self-published young adult fantasy book
$250-750 CAD
Paid on delivery
My name is Robert Rutherford, but I go by R.S. Rutherford for writing.
I am working towards self-publishing a novel and want to go about it right, and invest in it properly....while sticking to a budget.
I have completed two middle grade books: a sci-fantasy, and fantasy adventure.
I am done a YA dark fantasy series about those with the blood of giants coursing through their veins that hold great power in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. I am searching for a cover artist for GIANTS BLOOD.
My max budget is $450 (Canadian), but I'd prefer it under if possible.
I just want the cover and back designed for my book to be sold online through sites like Amazon, and others, hopefully that means it can also be printed off on a book if physical books are purchased.
Book details:
Giants Blood is set in a post-apocalyptic world where Giants are thought to be myths and legends lost to time, but in reality they live on through the blood of their descendants, who appear as human as you or I.
The main character, Stya (short for Agastya, which means mountain thrower), is a 16yo living on the streets of the sand city Sommeil (the city sleeping in the sand).
His short stature lines up with his short temper, and his impulsiveness gets him into trouble constantly with the city guards, and local criminals.
When Stya pisses off the wrong people, he is framed for the murder of a man whose head his punch explodes. Taken away by a sinister group known as the Zumal (the Shadow). He is thrown into a labyrinth-like prison far below a dormant volcano. It is here he learns of giants, and the power his blood may hold.
He is brought into a world of danger and delight the more he learns of his heritage and legacy. The 9 levels of the prison are like self-contained worlds one could get lost trying to navigate out of.
A group Stya falls in with is plotting an escape, but it won't be as easy as they hope.
The first book sets up the world I'm building up.
The ending really pulls back the curtain and shows the reader that this was just one tiny sliver of what is out there.
I am open to interpretation once I give more details about the book, and the characters, but in my mind I'm seeing:
a) A red and black background, the black or red are almost smoke-like in texture. The silhouette of the main character is in front near the bottom of the cover, just his torso, arms and head though, and behind him looming tall with outstretched arms that curl and almost grab the main character is the silhouette of a giant.
The main character has his hands together, and in his connected palms is a flame.
b) A black background (or red), with red smoke (or black smoke), and in the smoke, fragmented but visible is the silhouette of a giant. Maybe his eyes are on fire, like where his eyes would be are flames in the shape of eyes, no pupils or irises just a flame silhouette where eyes would be.
I definitely want red and black on the cover, and flames incorporated in some way, as well as silhouettes.
I'm open to creative license though, as long as something similar is attained. Nothing cartoonish or stock imaged. I can make basic covers like that myself, I need someone with artistic talent to bring my vision to life and put their own spin on it if they feel it would improve upon my suggestions.
This is the second time I've posted this project on here, the first time unfortunately did not yield the wanted results, and so I am a tad wary.
More details as requested or needed.
I've included some covers I like with a similar feel or tone.
Thank you!
